    Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomous lane level navigation are disclosed. In one aspect, a control system for an autonomous vehicle includes a processor and a computer-readable memory configured to cause the processor to receive a partial high-definition (HD) map that defines a plurality of lane segments that together represent one or more lanes of a roadway, the partial HD map including at least a current lane segment. The processor is also configured to generate auxiliary global information for each of the lane segments in the partial HD map. The processor is further configured to generate a subgraph including a plurality of possible routes between the current lane segment and the destination lane segment using the partial HD map and the auxiliary global information, select one of the possible routes for navigation based on the auxiliary global information, and generate lane level navigation information based on the selected route.

    Abstract: A control device associated with an autonomous vehicle receives sensor data and detects that the autonomous vehicle is approaching a railroad crossing based on the sensor data. The control device determines a target lane to travel while crossing the railroad. The target lane is a lane that has available space with at least a length of the autonomous vehicle on the other side of the railroad as opposed to a side of the railroad where the autonomous vehicle is currently traveling. The control device instructs the autonomous vehicle to travel on the target lane. The control device determines that a train is approaching the railroad crossing and waits for the train to pass the railroad crossing. The control device determines that the train has passed the railroad crossing. The control device instructs the autonomous vehicle to cross the railroad.

    Abstract: A prediction-based system and method for trajectory planning of autonomous vehicles are disclosed. A particular embodiment is configured to: receive training data and ground truth data from a training data collection system, the training data including perception data and context data corresponding to human driving behaviors; perform a training phase for training a trajectory prediction module using the training data; receive perception data associated with a host vehicle; and perform an operational phase for extracting host vehicle feature data and proximate vehicle context data from the perception data, generating a proposed trajectory for the host vehicle, using the trained trajectory prediction module to generate predicted trajectories for each of one or more proximate vehicles near the host vehicle based on the proposed host vehicle trajectory, determining if the proposed trajectory for the host vehicle will conflict with any of the predicted trajectories of the proximate vehicles, and modifying the proposed trajectory for the host vehicle until conflicts are eliminated.
